Now that I have an Olive and TGC, my trio of Lightnings is kinda weak.

Is TGC's TMR ever something worth using?

What is your party?

You might be better off running 5 bonus units and an Olive friend that can 1-shot the bosses than running a party where you need to actually fight them.

I'm running 2 soleils, 1 Lawrence, Y'shtola, and my Noctis. The friend orlandeau is usually just short of killing him with a single divine retribution after being buffed with Link from Noctis.

Are you running a bonus unit on Siren for Attack song? Putting up Deprotect from Shiva/Ramuh/Diabolos?

Yeah, that's blood. It'll get better before the show.
I'm really bummed out by this slowing down on Ifrit. I'm still at 1.14 million and I was really hoping to get the trust moogle, but that's going to be increasingly difficult if people are just kinda giving up on him. Sadly I can only do Pro, since I can't do enough damage in Elite for it to be worth it.

It doesn't matter to me, but I see some people running their TGs without Diablos which could be an issue.

PSA: All the bosses are demons and will take tons of extra damage from Demon Killer.

I know it's cool and all to slap Odin on him to get his ATK maxed, but Demon Killer is far better for this event.

Don't use Link with Noctis, use Fire Flask. The boss can be locked down with paralyze. Also the boss is resistant to light damage so use lightning stab instead of divine ruination.

how much attack on your Noctis? Mine is 799 on Diabolos, and one-shots all but the last boss with Warp Break. Then Warp Break + Holy Explosion will do the last boss in, no buffs.

I don't think you're gonna get consensus on which Esper to run for Orlandeau. Some people want the FR for Ifrit. Some people want Diabolos for Demon Killer. Some people want Odin for Bladeblitz to mow down chocobos. It's just good to have a mix of all them.

Yes. While ATK scales well, it doesn't scale better than killer abilies.

55 ATK vs +50% Damage to Demons

I think that the percentage of people who need Orlandu to be able to kill the demon bosses is probably higher than those that are still doing Ifrit and impatient during the Chocobo fight.

Bladeblitz is needed for people who have all bonus units. Plus I think any TGC with 800+ ATK should be able to solo the event regardless of esper (I could be wrong on this). The half-dozen people I know irl that play are still running the raid (and I asked them which esper they wanted and they said Ifrit). But yea, there's a lot of different scenarios people are in right now due to a bunch of competing needs/events.

Just tried with my firion and he does do a higher output with diablos, and also swapping a 20% atk tm with barrage
Cleared friend list of absent players.

Firion can oneshot all but the last boss in ELT with fin briar, needs to use barrage while buffed by attack song from a unit equipped with siren to one round the last one.(might also need de-protect on the boss from another esper, don't have enough NRG to test it right now.

i didnt even think about tm grinding dodge stuff for lightning until the ifrit event started or I could have had something prepared by now. Hindsight and all that.

Seriously, the only thing it costs to run the Ifrit raid is time. Also, I haven't seen anyone what mention this yet, but Ifrit coins are a phenomenal source of gil. A single Pro run will get you about 30,000.

Shine is really useful, yes. And Lawrence is honestly not that bad a TM, best attack armor in the game that isn't Brave Suit, ONLY magic attack armor (so Exdeath is making grabby hands at it)

But I feel your pain.

That moment when it's early and you do your 5 Ifrit runs for the morning and while driving in you pull a Y' and cheer outloud that you can quit Ifrit finally!! You were only 300k points away but so what!














Then you combine the 7 Thancreds you got with Nichol because they look the loving same at 7am driving 60mph.

Yeah I just wanted to check, I only need 1 Minfilia for all my needs right? And no Thancreds since he sucks and will continue to suck even in current Japanese meta?
And keeping 2 Yshtolas is ok?

Pretty much the same thing here.

I managed to pull 3 Shines though and some other TMs I was missing so I guess it's all ok. I have a Noctis, have the ring of Lucii, I'll get the dodge katana and the Shine TMs and I'll be dodging so much.

False enemy or true friend?
Wait someone has a full dodge Lightning that can solo the event? It'd be rad as gently caress if you could keep that up because I'm around 900k and I am still without Y'sholta and yknow, would be cool to get one before this event ends. Doesn't Ifrit himself run away after a few turns?

Nope. As long as your memu/Nox doesn't crash you can just Auto-Attack/Auto-Limit and come back later to a won battle.

You'll want NinjaD's Lightning for it.
